Without fail, the back to school season seems to creep up every year. And year after year, the same routine of scrambling to get things ready ensues. It is a rather stressful, but exciting time.
As moms and dads breathe a sigh of relief of not having to entertain the children all day, kids are eager to be reunited with their friends, show off their new duds and share the happenings of the summer.
The funny thing is, regardless to whether or not you have children headed to school, the same feeling hits us every late August/early September. It is the official end of summer. We realize it is time to start putting our noses to the grindstone and make things happen.
Summer is productive – don’t get me wrong – but when riddled with family vacations, half-days and sunshine, it feels as though we all had somewhat of a childhood summer.
Our summer here at L&S was a great one, with lots of excitement and progress. New faces, exciting projects and lunchtime grill-outs were just a few of the summer happenings at the agency. Just last week, we had an enjoyable summer picnic at Riverdale Park, complete with a sand volleyball tournament and iPad giveaway. Check out some photos on the L&S Facebook page.
Summer may be slipping away, but the fun of a quick getaway is not out of reach. If you need a last minute vacation, be sure to visit the TravelSD website for some ideas on quick trips you can take throughout the state.
The excitement of a fresh start also comes with a new school year. Kids armed with new notebooks and backpacks are ready to learn. To be honest, I still enjoy picking out a new notebook and pen for work every fall. Stop by Lewis to pick up a few last minute school or office supplies and check out their great weekly deals or upcoming tent sale.
The back to school air circulating throughout L&S is hard to ignore. We are all excited for upcoming months. We are ready for the great ideas to come, the challenges ahead and the lessons we will learn working with new and longtime clients. Be sure to keep your eyes and ears open to the latest news from the team here at Lawrence & Schiller.
